CHANDIGARH, Feb. 16, 2024 (TBINN)
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher today accused the Centre of trying to “suppress” the voices of the protesters, claiming Social Media accounts of farmers and YouTubers have been suspended.
Protesting farmers have stayed ut at Shambhu and Khanauri points on Punjab’s border with Haryana for the fourth day after their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march to press the Centre for various demands, including a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (M.S.P.) for crops, was stopped by security forces which led to clashes.
Union ministers and farmer leaders met on February 8, 12 and 15, 2024 to discuss the farmer unions’ demands but the talks remained inconclusive. The two sides will meet again on February 18, 2024 for a fourth round of talks.
